Finding Gratitude From Nothing
Happy After Thanksgiving!
I hope your holiday was tummy-filling, family filled, and restful, with lots of books. :)
I posted a new blog entry today about gratitude. It's easy to have some when you have plenty -- a house, food, clothes, good health -- but what about when you have absolutely nothing but the clothes on your back? Can you find it? Let me tell you why you should always have it and keep it.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/findi...
Have you entered the big giveaway for my books? Silver Dagger Book Tours has been running a tour and over 6,000 have registered for my giveaway. Don't miss out!
https://www.silverdaggertours.com/sds...
Did you do NaNoWriMo? I did and it was fun but exhausting. Almost got to 60K! So much editing! That's for next year. haha
I'm going to be on Off the Chain blogspot radio Dec 6 and then I intend to take a well-deserved break from all the push on writing and promotions.
But if you are on Facebook, come on by and join my readers/fan group, Sherry's Evening Bower. There will be lots of good fun going on over there!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/16153...
Get ready to welcome December! See you then!

7 Reasons NOT to NaNo (but I am)
Hello and BRRR!
I can saw glorious Autumn arrived and I have the heat on. I'm beside myself with joy. This is the time of year when I get the most writing done, when I have my "spring fever" and want to clean out ever closet and drawer, and I look forward to homemade soups!
And writing. Today's blog post covers why you should not participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Well, sorta. Don't mind the sarcasm, ok?
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/7-rea...
Also, be sure to sign up for my newsletter! There's a sneak peek in this months.
https://tinyurl.com/y978qak3
Have you joined my Facebook group, Sherry's Evening Bower for readers and fans? That's where I'll get my ARC and beta readers plus get ideas for my upcoming books including character and locale names. Plus they get freebies and giveaways that I don't do elsewhere.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/16153...
And watch out for my Halloween Instagram pics from now til Halloween.
https://www.instagram.com/thepoetphoe...
One last thing -- I I will have my 29th wedding anniversary on the 28th. If you don't believe in the power of love, I'm here to tell you that third time was the charm for me. Believe. It can happen for all of us.
Don't forget to say hi wherever you find me!

Proof Vampires are Real
Happy cold and truly Autumn Monday!
Today's blog leans to Halloween. Based on some archeological reads, I decided to post about my love - vampires. Evidence suggests (again, still?) that so many civilizations believed in vampirism that it makes you wonder how it could be a lie. I say it isn't. Writers can learn a lot from history and change their tired tropes!
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/proof...
Have you joined my newsletter yet? You'll see things that won't be written about elsewhere.
https://tinyurl.com/y978qak3
And keep an eye on my Instagram. Going to put up some fun things over the next two weeks. *winks*
Make it a good week and keep reading!

Aren't You Tired?
Happy Columbus Day! And Monday,
Hope your week will be glorious. Mine promises to be busy but I hope to get some outlining done for NaNoWriMo (that's National Novel Writing Month) so I'll be ready for November.
New blog post is up this morning. I'm on a bit of a rant so you'll have to forgive me. But it has a purpose.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/arent...
Also, watch out on Instagram. I'll be posting some Halloween drinking cups as we get closer to the holiday.
Hope you have a good week. Keep reading!

Do Not Write and Self Publish a Book
Dear Readers and Authors,
Happy October! After being away for several weeks (for surgery), I'm happy to say I'm back and as feisty as ever!
New blog post up: Do Not Write and Self Publish A Book. That's going to raise some eyebrows, so be sure to read before you comment! You may agree with me.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/dont-...
My new release, LOVE AND BLOOD, is off to a good start and the reviews are very high. I hope you'll decide to try my series. It's original and unlike the other vampires and supernaturals that are out there now. Plus we are building up to another book next year and new mysteries.
What are you doing for spooky fun? Stay tuned, I'm sure we can find some mischief.
Keep writing,
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

I'm back with news!
Hello! Sorry to be away for so long. I've been ill and was in the hospital too. I'm recovering now and guess what? I've released my new book, LOVE AND BLOOD, Evening Bower Series Book 2!
https://tinyurl.com/y9rqyp3g
In addition to the new book, I've a new blog post up (after a month, again, sorry). This time I admit to dealing with personal demons as I learned a bit more about perspective. This will strengthen and deepen my characterizations because of the personal attachment that I have to the situation.
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/new-r...
My Goodreads reading isn't updated and I'll be seeing to that in this next week. But I hope you get a chance to check out my new book! It's the best thing I've ever done and I'm mad/crazy/wild for this story.
Thanks for checking in and here's to good reading and clear perspectives.

After Publishing, are you prepared?
Good morning and happy back to school day!
Last blog post for August, can you believe it?
Today's subject covers what happens after you have that shiny new book. I liken it to the UGH Factor. Drop by and see what I mean.
https://www.facebook.com/events/18287...
The #pinyourpen weekly pen showcase ended last week. Today I'm going to show you the entire box and then have to figure out what else I want to do for fun. Any suggestions?
My new book is ready for preorders! Just 99cents now (and that price will go up). Get this one. Hope you read the earlier books because this one is by far my very best.
https://www.amazon.com/Love-Blood-Eve...
Be sure to say hi if you come by the blog or see me on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/AuthorSherry...
Hope you had a fab summer. See you next week!

The Vagaries of Social Media
Happy Monday readers and writers,
Today's blog post is about The Vagaries of Social Media, what social media does to us, and how I understand those who run away from it. Drop by and give a read for your health.
https://tinyurl.com/yd97adrs
Also, today is the penultimate Monday for the #pinyourpen love. 53 pens later and I can't believe I've posted so many! Next week is the last, so jump in and see what you've missed.
https://www.instagram.com/thepoetphoe...
The new book, LOVE AND BLOOD, is right around the corner. I've approved the final cover and I'm about to send it to the formatter! So excited. This is hands down a fun, unexpected adventure. My best work. I'll keep you posted!
And coming soon, videos about the book characters plus sneek peek reads. Be on the look out for links.
